Wrap 7-10 turns of.020 lead wire around the mid-shank and cover it with a thread base.
At the bend, tie in 5-7 mallard-dyed-wood-duck fibers as a tail one shank length long.
Bind in a length of oval gold tinsel for the rib, then tie in a second bunch of wood duck fibers by the tips and lay them back to reserve for the wingcase.
Dub a tapered body of blended otter and cream seal forward over two-thirds of the shank.
Wind the gold rib forward in 5 evenly spaced turns and tie off.
Dub a thicker thorax of the same blend to the 85% mark.
Pull the reserved wood duck fibers forward over the thorax as a wingcase; split the leftover tips back along each side as legs, trimmed no longer than the hook point.
